So I recorded via the watch - indoor cycle - and from the Specialized App, into strava and then into the Health App. Indoor Cycle - 533calories Starava - 346 calories That's quite the difference! Obviously I'd rather take the higher one but really I want the real one grrrr

250k per week give or take!

As long as it's not blowing a gale (often...) it really is a great run. 55m each way, almost every day. The drive would take 45m and leaves me in a bad mood every time!

sadly 95% of my riding is the flat as a pancake run from Brighton to Worthing!

Ah now that's thrown me.... on balance I'd say yes, but, really the majority of the time I am sat on the seat moving my feet and nothing else.

A power meter measures foot to pedal effort though, in KW, which is directly convertible to calories (body inefficiencies aside...)

I don't think a heart rate monitor can be more accurate than a power meter because the meter measures true input, unlike a monitor which would mature less if you are healthier (and therefore not trying so hard but burning the same calories)

The true market for bikes is so much larger than traditional bikes it's hilarious. One day non powered bikes will be a bit like sail boats :)

I’m in Brighton and I cycle to Worthing every day!

Christ alive it’s painful seeing this stupid stuff. Designed to pull fat piles of cash out f addicted numpties.

iPhone with a usb battery pack seems cheaper easier and more fully featured still :)

I’ve taken to over taking with hands off the bars.

I’ve got an iPhone stuck to mine using a quad lock case and mount, has been great for me.

This is really useful advice thank you. Totally happy to do some work on the bike, something I can do with him as well :) I think getting it up and running well now as you mention, then upgrading her bike in say 6 months and passing hers on to Him would be a great idea and much more economical...

Example pictures. The last one is her good bike!

Quick background - I have two kids, I'm about to finalise my divorce. My daughter, almost 8, got an Islabike for her 6th birthday and got into it when she was 7. I was going to buy my son (5.5) one for his birthday but my ex has preempted that with a second hand bike she got cheap / free...

Didn’t even know that :) it’s the basic model, 2018, £3,500

It's whatever comes stock on the Turbo Levo

This is so, so great to read. My daughter is 7.5 and she got a Isla bike for her 6th birthday but didn’t really get into it until she was 7. My recent purchase of the Levo has made me much more enthusiastic about going out as a family together, all on bikes. I am about to finalise a divorce...

See this is great advice, I had no idea cassettes weren’t a solid lump. I’ve already ordered the cassette, but there’s nothing to stop me changing the sprocket on the existing cassette and keeping it for the next time. Thanks again for the help :)
